A trio of talented and passionate people have been so impressed with the new iPad’s screen that they decided to launch a web site designed specifically to fulfill the need for higher resolution artwork required by the new tablet computer.
Launching with a bunch of wallpapers of their own, as well as allowing others to submit works, “2048pixels provides a venue for anyone to download original 2048x2048 iPad retina artwork by some of the best designers in the world.”
The site is truly breathtaking, featuring a clean design and super easy navigation between the works. If we didn't know any better, we'd be inclined to say it was crafted by Apple Inc. themselves.
“With the release of the latest iPad, there is a real need in the market for products that utilize this incredible resolution. 2048pixels creates a place for all designers to showcase their skills while leveraging this latest technology in exciting ways,” reads the description.
All wallpapers featured on 2048pixels must be original artwork, uploaded by their creators. Designs are assessed for quality, appropriateness, and originality, and finally offered up for grabs on the 2048pixels gallery.
“2048pixels is the best place to share your original 2048x2048 iPad retina wallpaper,” says the company. “We will post the best designs and images for the world to enjoy. Simply fill out all the fields in the form below and submit your design for consideration.”
Artists can’t sell their works via 2048px.com, and they must follow a few guidelines as well, such as a mandatory resolution of (you guessed it!) 2048 x 2048 pixels, JPG or PNG formats, no adult themes, no watermarks, no faces of individuals, including prolific figures or celebrities, and only one submission per design.
The good news is that each artist that submits any works to 2048px retains full ownership of their artwork. The company specifically states “We do not claim any ownership to any of the artwork on 2048pixels. These terms do not grant us any rights to their artwork except for the limited right to share their artwork on 2048pixels.”
The same goes for you - the iPad owner downloading the goods. You can’t use them for commercial purposes, or anything of the sort.
